Amy sobbed into her hands as she made her way through the dark woods.

How had she let things get so heated, so quickly? Amy sobbed even harder, how had it gotten to this point? Walking the woods, crying into her jacket in the middle of the dark.

Amy looked behind herself and saw the tiny porch light of the Hale house in the distance. Amy sobbed even harder than before; Derek wasn't coming after her. He didn't care about her. He was done. Amy kept walking, she had ruined everything with Derek. Why hadn't she slowed down and accepted his offer to talk? She had ruined everything! And now she was alone; her mom on another continent, who knew where her real dad was and all of her friends were gone. Amy looked behind herself again, noticing that she was too far away to see the porch light. Was she even going in the right direction? Amy looked back in front of her and her blurry vision met dark red eyes. A couple of them actually. Amy gasped as a leathery hand grabbed at her neck.

"Shh! Shh!" Amy looked around as three figures encircled her,

"What are you going to do to me?" Amy whimpered,

"Shut up and we won't do anything to hurt you."

Amy looked around at her attackers and noticed long, blonde hair glistening on the woman that was dragging her further and further away from the Hale house and the town.

"Gretchen?" The Alpha only growled and Amy took that as a yes, "He-!" Amy's cry for help was muffled by Gretchen's perfectly manicured hand.

"I told you to shut up and I-" There was a roar from the other side of the forest and Gretchen's body shook so hard that she dropped Amy onto the floor. Gretchen exchanged worried glances with her pack and the group made a silent agreement; they bounded off into the woods on all fours leaving Amy defenceless against the animal.

Amy looked at the area where the sound came from, she shut her eyes; that was definitely not Derek. It was too quiet. Amy had never heard Derek roar but from his growls she could tell that they would be deeper and louder.

That was definitely not Derek.

Amy stood up from her spot on the floor and started to find her way back to the town.

Amy shivered as the cold air swept around her and she noticed that she wasn't dressed for walking in the woods at night. Amy felt her pockets to check to see if she still had her phone with her, she did! Amy picked it up and saw that it was almost six, how was it almost six? It was four only a few minutes ago! Had she actually been walking around the woods, crying for over an hour? Amy looked down at her phone and saw that she had no bars. She laughed out loud, nothing could get worse, could it? Amy kept walking, accidentally tripping over a tree root and landing on her face. Amy looked up to see that the dark sky was now blurry with white flakes.

"No! No!" she screamed, Amy stood up, ignoring the pain that was shooting up her arm from where Gretchen dropped her on the floor, "You can't do that to me! You can't!" Amy yelled at the sky with everything she had, "You took everything away from me! You can't just leave me alone in the middle of a snowing forest in the dark! You can't!" Amy felt a snowflake melt on the tip of her nose and she dropped on to the floor, sobbing into her arm again, "You can't," she whispered to herself, "You really, really can't." Amy leaned against a big tree root and rocked herself back and forth, "You can't." Amy looked down and saw through her blurry eyes that her phone was sitting in a small puddle. She picked it up, shaking the water from it. Hopefully it was just out of battery. Amy noticed that she could see her reflection in it. Amy picked up her phone and held it in front of herself.

Her blue eye's were dull and red; drained from all the crying and screaming. Her hair had small twigs in them, and the top of her head was layered with a soft snow. Her nose was dripping snot and her mouth was blue and shaky from the cold. Amy took in a deep breath, she was a mess. Amy stood up, refusing to acknowledge the fact that she had cried over a guy. Okay, the guy was Derek but Amy had promised her mom from a little age that she would never end up like one of those girls that obsessed over their boyfriend and ended up in a depression when they dumped them.

Amy stood up and wiped the tears off her face with a shaky hand, she was not going to be one of those girls. She had promised and Amy always kept her promises. Amy gathered her phone and bag and walked off into -what she hoped was- the right direction.

Amy finally let herself smile an hour later when she saw the big, neon red sign of the local grocery stating that it was still open. Amy let out a whoop even though she was tired and lonely. She knew how to get home now. As Amy made her way home, she got some weird looks, especially from some old ladies sitting in their wheelchairs in front of Mary's Home Away From Home; the old people's place. Amy walked her way past Starbucks, the hospital where Scott's mom worked, the school and Farmer Joe's; where Amy had to stifle a few tears. When Amy walked into her cul-de-sac she let out a relieved breath, she was home now. She could go and take a bath and finally go to sleep. Amy walked up her steps and she grabbed her back-pack to get out her key; she was home. And safe. Amy locked the door and raced up the stairs, never more thankful for her shower.


Peter walked into his living room, picking twigs out of his hair and shaking the snow off of his jacket and found a seething Derek.

"What's wrong?" Peter smelled the house, "Where's Amy?"

Derek turned around, his Alpha red eyes met Peter's, "She's gone, Peter."

Peter rolled his eyes, "I told you, didn't I? Where is she?"

"She's gone!" screamed Derek,

Peter sighed, like he was fighting with an eight year old, "I know that, Derek. I mean where is she going? The Alpha's are in the woods, stalking this house. Don't you think that they'll find her? Hell, there was somebody screaming in there a couple of minutes ago,"

Derek looked away, "She didn't want to talk to me so she left, she's taking the trail to town."

"Amy is taking the trail?" Peter's eyes bulged and something clicked, "Which route did she take?"

Derek shrugged and punched the wall, leaving a hole in it. Peter rolled his eyes, Lydia was going to give Derek a lecture when she got back, "She took the west trail,"

Peter nodded his head slowly, more grateful than ever that he had done something about the screaming in the woods, "What are you going to do, Derek?"

Derek didn't say anything, he just paced around the room.

Peter repeated his question.

"Nothing! It's too late! She's hates me!" Derek punched the couch and shattered the glass table,

"Derek, what are you going to do?"

Derek turned around to face Peter, breathing heavily, "I don't know! I told you; it's too late!"

"It's never too late, Derek. You just think it is. Oh and by the way, you didn't go after her because you're scared of how happy she makes you! And if you want to die alone and miserable be my guest because nobody else on this earth would ever see the good in you."

Derek took in a deep breath and crouched down, idly playing with a piece of glass on the floor, "What should I do?"

"How am I supposed to know?"

Derek looked up at his uncle.

Peter sighed, "Derek, go talk to her. Don't take no for an answer."

"Okay," Derek stood up and tossed the piece of glass onto the floor, "I'm going."

Peter moved out of the way to let Derek pass, "Bring her something!" Peter said, grabbing the TV controller and sitting on the couch.

Derek turned around, "What?"

"Bring her something!"

Derek squinted, "What?"

Peter rolled his eyes, "A gift, Derek. A gift. Bring her a gift."

"Oh, okay."

The door opened and in walked the gang bringing in five boxes of pizzas.

Lydia walked into the living room first and her face fell, "Derek!" she screamed, "Derek! What did you do? Derek, look at this!"

But Derek was already out the door and driving his car through the woods to the local grocery shop.
